About this property
BAYVIEW BUNGALOW INCREDIBLE DOWNTOWN LOCATION
BAYVIEW BUNGALOW VACATION RENTAL is a charming sanctuary for visitors looking for distinctive vacation or longer-term accommodations. Located in the heart of our small, but lively and diverse city, Arcata’s numerous amenities are within easy walking distance.
Bayview Bungalow is centrally located, yet private, quiet, and cozy. Our property is a stand-alone, two bedroom home built in the 1940s, and recently renovated with contemporary tastes. The interior of our bungalow has a modern decor with an eclectic array of fine art and illustrations from the local area. A flat screen smart television and wireless internet will keep you entertained and connected. There is a full kitchen, stocked with the necessities should you opt to dine in. There are two bedrooms, one with a king bed, one with a queen bed. Our guests can enjoy the views of Arcata’s historic Plaza, Arcata Bay, and forested horizons from the expansive porches. We do allow dogs but we charge 30.00 per day per dog.
Bayview Bungalow’s location allows you to experience all that is wonderful about Arcata while leaving your car parked. You can easily stroll to shops, restaurants, movies, the Arcata Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary, or Redwood Park trails. Bicycle rentals are also available within a few blocks if you want to branch out a bit – Arcata is very bike-friendly. Within a few steps of the front door, Wildberries Marketplace has everything you could ask for in a grocery store and more: conventional and organic foods, juice and salad bars, scrumptious deli offerings, made-to-order sandwiches and ready-to-eat dinner specials, and a coffee/espresso bar. If your looking for a late night meal try Toni's 24 Hour Restaurant open 24 hours about a 5 minute drive.
Just minutes away by car, you can experience some of the exquisite natural features in the area - sandy beaches, wild rivers, coastal trails, and giant redwoods. Eureka’s historical jewel, Victorian-Era Old Town, graces Humboldt Bay’s waterfront with fine dining, shops, and bookstores just ten minutes’ drive to the south. Fifteen minutes north, Trinidad is a picture-perfect coastal village with a vintage lighthouse, the local fishing fleet moored in Trinidad Bay (and of course, fresh, locally-caught fish!), and our favorite wine tasting room - Moonstone Crossing, where local vintners Don and Sharon offer a fantastic selection of their award-winning wines.
Whether you are here on vacation or business, are a visiting professional, a parent of an HSU student, or are simply passing through, we hope that spending some time at Bayview Bungalow will enhance your travel experience to Arcata.

Wonderful place in great location in Arcata. I am a repeat visitor to this rental. Very comfortable, safe, and well equipped. Easy walk to plaza. Great grocery store across the street. Everything feels new and modern. This is my preferred place to stay in Arcata.
The place was clean and perfect for us and our dog. It was amazing how many kitchen appliances there were. Some places have limited pots and pans, or other things you need in a kitchen. This place had everything you can imagine you would need. Terrific. Including little things like aluminum foil, saran wrap, ziplock bags etc. Also wireless chargers in the bedroom. The bed was super comfortable and even though we were right next to a busy street, the noise was limited due to good insulation and good windows. Wonderful place. We will be back!
Having a fenced yard for our dogs was so awesome and access to the washer and dryer not to mention being able to walk into town - it was all just perfect :)
This place was awesome!!! Location great and house and property was clean and extremely comfortable close to all restaurants.. I already want to come back!!
This is the best location we have stayed at in Arcata. The house was clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. Our host was very helpful with immediate response to any inquiries. Will book again next time we visit Arcata!
Very comfortable cottage in a great location. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable and a fenced yard for the dogs made for a great weekend retreat from the inland heat. Easy walking to Arcata Square and groceries across the street. Good central location for exploring the coast...just a short drive south to Eureka or north to Trinidad.
Super cute and cozy cottage. We appreciated the parking in the driveway as it is located on a one way street. Super quiet neighbors and a lovely backyard. We had a restful stay and look forward to coming back!
Sweet cottage, east walk to plaza and excellent grocery store right across the street. Worked well for four adults, kitchen is nicely outfitted. Host was flexible when I started with the wrong dates, thanks.

The only knock on this property is there were ants running around in the bathroom and kitchen.
Just right as a base for our north coast adventures. The Bayview Bungalow was comfortable and cozy with a surprisingly well equipped kitchen. It is ideally located within a short walk of Arcata’s interesting shops and restaurants. We’ll be back!
Very convenient! They accommodated a special request very smoothly and happily! Home was cozy and comfortable! Although we were not able to take advantage of it, the porch and back yard are great features and very welcoming. Flowers around the yard were wonderful. All in all we recommend highly.
We have come to find this sweet little bungalow our second home. We love it! Close to old town and all the fabulous restaurants. Where can you find a bakery that also serves pizza! We love sitting on the deck and looking at the bay having our morning coffee. I would definitely recommend this property 💙
The improvements made to this house were excellent. Newer windows, flooring, dining island, lots of electrical outlets, comfortable beds and great leather furniture in the living room. Our only downsides were lack of railings on the front steps andbusy street (but great people watching) .
